Belinda,Years ago, I would buy 3 lbs or so lf lunch meat, since I needed it for sandwiches for 6. Cut back to 2 lbs, then cut back to $20's worth. I simply gave up, choosing instead to occassionally pick up some marked down Deli ends, home roast my own, shop Aldi's a few times. Cold cuts are simply alot of money for what you get.

They really are, Carol. After making meals out of what I've had on hand this month, I've realized that even more and I'm rethinking several things as a result. The canned potatoes I've always bought for tacos can be made with one or two potatoes from a 99¢ bag of potatoes, refried beans in the can can be replaced with homemade refried beans. The list can go on and on.
